Partner with engineering leadership on hiring strategy and workforce planning, build proactive sourcing pipelines, manage multiple complex searches, improve recruiting processes and tooling, mentor junior recruiters, and deliver high-quality candidate experience.

Lead design and operation of a centralized AI and data platform for autonomy: define compute strategy, build distributed training and simulation systems, manage multi-modal datasets and MLOps, enable model evaluation, optimization, and deployment to constrained edge and customer environments, and drive platform standardization and broad adoption across programs.

Lead design and implement production React/TypeScript interfaces for agentic AI products. Prototype and ship working front-end code, design interaction patterns for LLM-driven systems, run user research, build reusable component patterns, instrument usage, and collaborate with product teams to land designs into production.

Lead the quarterly and annual ASC 740 income tax provision, prepare and review workpapers, journal entries, and disclosures. Coordinate with auditors and external advisors, support federal and state compliance, and partner with accounting, FP&A, and legal on tax impacts, planning, M&A, and indirect tax matters.

Lead design and prototyping of generative AI experiences for autonomy development; drive UX for Hivemind products; perform user research, collaborate with CTO and product leads, and deliver reference implementations and integrations across full-stack web and edge systems.

Perform export classifications and jurisdiction determinations (ITAR/EAR) for hardware, software, and technology. Collaborate with engineering to interpret technical data, prepare CJ/CCATS submissions, maintain classification records, and advise stakeholders on regulatory implications.

Lead quarterly and annual income tax provision (ASC 740) including workpapers, journal entries, and disclosures. Analyze book-to-tax differences, effective tax rate drivers, and uncertain tax positions. Coordinate with auditors and external tax providers, support U.S. federal and state tax compliance, assist with tax planning, M&A, and indirect tax matters, and monitor tax law and accounting standard changes.

Manage and administer global equity compensation programs (options, RSUs), maintain equity tracking and cap table accuracy, ensure regulatory compliance, coordinate cross-functional teams, support financial reporting and audits, handle equity transactions and employee inquiries, and improve processes and controls.

Lead integration and validation of the Hivemind autonomy stack across simulation, HIL, and flight platforms. Configure sensors, drivers, communication interfaces, and platform adapters; develop integration tooling and CI/CD; analyze logs/rosbag to triage defects; collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure interoperability, release readiness, and end-to-end system compliance.

Lead product definition, roadmap, and adoption for the CTOs agentic AI portfolio. Translate strategy into requirements, KPIs, and milestones; run discovery, prioritize backlogs, instrument usage, and shepherd incubation-to-handoff for AI/dev platforms and foundation-model tooling.

Serve as a trusted HR advisor to senior engineering leaders to build high-performing technical teams. Drive people strategies, talent architecture, leveling, workforce analytics, and scalable HR systems across global People functions supporting software, AI/ML, product, and platform engineering.

Design, implement, and deploy real-time state estimation and sensor-fusion algorithms for autonomous UAVs (IMU, GNSS, visual odometry, radar). Build robust sensor pipelines, conduct simulation/lab/field testing, optimize for constrained hardware, and collaborate across autonomy, software, and hardware teams to transition research into fielded navigation solutions.

Lead corporate FP&A forecasting and planning, own Anaplan and financial systems for Corporate FP&A, build integrated three‑statement models, translate headcount and investments into financial impacts, partner with G&A leaders on planning and decision support, improve forecasting accuracy and automate scalable processes.

Lead integration, validation, and fielding of advanced weapon capabilities on X-Bat across the full lifecycle. Define system behaviors and architectures, coordinate cross-functional integration, support lab/ground/flight tests, perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis to reduce integration risk and accelerate capability delivery.

Lead design and development of advanced electrical systems for autonomous aircraft, including circuit and subsystem design, part selection, schematic capture, simulation, verification, debugging, and production releases. Integrate embedded systems and sensors for autonomy, coordinate cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, define technical requirements, and develop automated test solutions to improve hardware reliability and production readiness.

Lead design and optimization of low-observable aircraft features, perform electromagnetic signature modeling and simulation, direct RCS testing and validation, partner with materials and multidisciplinary teams to mature RAM and coatings, translate threats into survivability features, and support program assessments and milestone decisions.
